ydotool and WSL2

[AaronDinesh]

Is it possible to use ydotool in WSL2?

[detuar]

I couldn't get it to work. Using any command results in this error message:

ydotool: notice: ydotoold backend unavailable (may have latency+delay issues)
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  failed to open uinput device
Aborted (core dumped)

ydotoold also doesnt work correctly:

ydotoold: listening on socket /tmp/.ydotool_socket
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  failed to open uinput device
Aborted

/dev/uinput is missing in WSL2.
